Dr. Sohail on Pakistan’s Silent Heart Epidemic | Why Young People Are Now Getting Heart Attacks?

In this EvoTalk episode, we sit down with Dr. Sohail Abrar, Medical Director at Tabba Heart Institute, a pioneer of modern
echocardiography in Pakistan.

From transforming the ECHO departments of AKUH and Tabba to training technicians now working across the world, his journey is a masterclass in discipline, purpose, and relentless hard work.

But behind the achievements lies a deeply human story, financial struggles during early career days, supporting family while training, balancing marriage with a demanding profession, and learning to manage stress in a field where every minute can mean life or death.

Dr. Sohail opens up about:

* Why more Pakistanis are getting heart attacks before 40
* Why we confuse cardiac symptoms with “gas”
* How lifestyle, diet, and smoking are silently killing us
* The real impact of obesity and the rise of GLP-1 drugs
* His personal routine, diet discipline, managing stress, and staying healthy
* Lessons for young doctors on commitment, struggle, and finding satisfaction in healing patients
* The hidden story of how he modernized cardiology imaging in Pakistan from the ground up

This conversation is not just for doctors, it’s for anyone who wants to protect their heart, understand modern cardiac care, and learn from a man who has spent his life saving lives.

In this episode of Evo Talks, we sit down with Pakistan’s internationally recognized neurosurgeon Prof. Asif Bashir [MBBS, M.D, FAANS, FACS (USA), Diplomate American Board of Neurological Surgery & Executive Director PINS, Lahore]

A man who has spent 21 years in the United States, trained at Harvard, Mayo Clinic, and New York’s top institutions, yet chose to return home and rebuild Pakistan’s healthcare landscape from the ground up.

From his early student life at King Edward to becoming one of the world’s leading names in minimally invasive spine surgery, Prof. Asif shares an honest, deeply personal journey, discipline, grit, mentorship, struggle, and the dream of bringing world-class medical care to Pakistan.

He spoke about:
Why grades don’t define your destiny
Why the best doctors know when NOT to operate
How PINS is providing free, world-standard neurosurgery for the public
Why Pakistan sits at a strategic point, between U.S. and China, in global medical innovation
His father’s legacy and the emotional weight of carrying it forward
What true leadership means: respect from janitor to surgeon
His biggest dream, turning Pakistan into a global hub for medical tourism
The real reason He left a top U.S. job to return home
The philosophy that changed his life: Luck favors the bold

This episode is not just for medical students, it’s for anyone who wants to understand resilience
